Alright, let’s get into what I did with Zack Moss back in Week 2. It was one of those weeks, you know? My running back situation was looking a bit shaky.
I spent a good chunk of Tuesday night staring at my fantasy roster. My main starter, Jonathan Taylor, was banged up, listed as questionable, and all the reports sounded kinda pessimistic. Left me in a real bind for that RB2 slot. Didn’t feel good about leaving it empty or hoping for a miracle.
So, Wednesday morning, I started digging around. First thing, hit the waiver wire. Scrolled through the available names. Honestly, it was pretty barren. Saw a few guys, but nobody I really felt confident plugging in. Just seemed like hoping for a lucky touchdown.
Then I focused on Moss. He was already on my bench in one league, and available on waivers in another. The news kept getting clearer: Taylor was looking very likely to be out or extremely limited. That put Moss right in the driver’s seat for carries. I remembered he’d looked decent enough when he actually got the ball in the past.
I thought about it for a bit. It wasn’t a slam dunk, right? Moss wasn’t exactly a guy you’d built your draft around. But the logic was simple: opportunity. He was gonna get the volume. Sometimes you just gotta follow the touches.
Made the move. Decided to roll the dice. In the league where he was on waivers, I put in a claim. In the league where he was benched, I moved him into my starting lineup. Locked it in Thursday, just to stop myself from second-guessing all weekend.
Come game day, I kept an eye on the Colts game. And yeah, Moss was getting fed. He was handling the bulk of the carries, just like I figured. Saw him punch one into the endzone, too.
- He got the workload I expected.
- He got goal-line looks.
- Put up solid fantasy points, nothing crazy, but definitely start-worthy.
It worked out pretty well. He wasn’t the highest scorer of the week or anything, but he filled that hole in my lineup nicely. Way better than taking a zero or playing waiver wire roulette. Felt good to see the process pay off – watch the injury reports, figure out who gets the volume, and make the logical move, even if it’s not a flashy name.
So yeah, that was my Zack Moss Week 2 experience. Just basic blocking and tackling, paying attention to the news and making the call.
